I could not finish watching this film as it was impossible to understand what was being said. For some reason there were no subtitles available and it was pointless to watch just for the visual effects which resembled an independent film. A real disappointment as I cannot make a satisfactory judgement upon it.

I was looking forward to watching this film as it had a strong cast but comedy it was not. I don't know what it was trying to be but even the actors appeared to be embarrassed to appear in it. Watched about a third but then couldn't stomach any more and sent it back. One of the worst films I have not managed to see through to the end.

I loved this film. The filming is beautiful and captured Burgundy perfectly. It is also very subtle and if someone likes Hollywood Blockbusters they will not like this. The interaction between the characters and families was also interesting and it is one of those movies where the viewer is left refreshed. I didn't want it to end.

I possibly didn't give this film a chance but I attempted to watch this with my husband and after less than ten minutes had to switch it off. The sound quality was poor and it was difficult to hear what the actors were saying as the speech was slurred. The "music" did not fit the film and was jarring but perhaps this was intentional. I had expected much better given the actors but basically we found it unwatchable. Just a silly romp.

I watched this until the end in the hope that it might improve but it didn't. The blurb makes it sound interesting but I found it very difficult to keep awake. One of the worst films I have watched.

Loved this film with its many references to other classic westerns and to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Filming is beautiful and it is one of those rare films which I just didn't want to end. However, the dialogue and references were sometimes anachronistic and this jarred but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the film. I found the ending unbelievable but I think this was deliberate and the director emphasising that it is a story afterall.

I was really looking forward to watching this film and although I loved the music I found the dialogue impossible to follow as did my husband. I think with some American films it is a mistake not to include subtitles because although it is English the American drawl sometimes makes it difficult or as in this case, impossible to follow.

Excellent film and beautifully filmed in black and white. Very atmospheric and so true to the traditional Irish singing. Loved it. My only criticism is that I would have liked a subtitles to translate the gaelic in the songs.

A beautiful and moving film with such believable characters. Moving in parts and very thought provoking. I would watch this film again and probably will do again soon. It brought out the ephemeral nature of art and life. Reminiscent of The Tempest.

I really feel that this series has now been dragged out for too long and that the director is using the interminable sex scenes as padding. I enjoyed the first series and thought it was full of interesting ideas but unfortunately the programme is both literally and metaphorically losing the plot.

I was looking forward to watching this given the blurb but the narrative was so weak that I gave up before the end. It was extremely difficult to listen to and as there were no subtitles given that it was filmed in the states it was impossible to follow. It sounded as if it had been recorded in a bath tub and there were two of us trying to listen so it was not due to our hearing problems.

I was enchanted by this film from the very start. The acting, filming in this gloriously understated film was stunning. I've not been so moved by a film for years.
